In the early years of my life, I grew up in a healthy household where both parents made sure I ate organic, local fruits and vegetables. My mother even went to the local farm to purchase goat’s milk and made our baby food from fresh organic foods.
Unfortunately, eating organic was not always an option. My father made a choice that he put before his family, leaving my mother to raise me on her own. During those years, we dealt with many financial hardships and my mother was no longer able to provide fresh fruits and vegetables.
Despite this financial instability, I made it to college, but it wasn’t always easy. There was even a point that I was going to school and living out of my car. At that time, I told myself that this was not the life I was destined to live and I would not give up. My drive to succeed at life and in business is fueled by not wanting to go back to sleeping in a car parked on a side street.
Despite my ambition, about two years ago I found myself stuck at a dead end job with a boss I did not respect and drinking and eating terrible foods to escape the depression. I was not living the life that I envisioned for myself. This was when I began cleansing my body and soul by juicing.
Juicing cleared my skin, renewed my energy and allowed me to reconnect with my roots. My desire to share this with others led to the creation of Safi Juice.
